Chapter 1:
Destruction of this Republic Plotted By European Monarchists

The death of
President Lincoln was the culmination of but one step in the attempt to
carry out the Secret Treaty of Verona, of October, 1822, a pact entered
into by the high contracting parties of the former Congress of
Vienna, Austria, which had held its sessions secret, covering the whole
year of 1814-15.

Simultaneously with
the calling of the Congress of Vienna in 1814, Pope Pius VIIth restored
the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order) which had been abolished by Pope
Clement XIVth, July 21, 1773, on the grounds that it was immoral,
dangerous and was a menace to the very life of the papacy. Clement was
promptly poisoned for his act.

With the restoration
of this order, the execution of the Secret Treaty of Verona was placed in
their keeping.

The Congress of
Vienna was a black conspiracy against Popular Governments at which the
high contracting parties announced at its close that they had formed a
Holy alliance. This was a cloak under which they masked to deceive
the people. The particular business of the Congress of Verona, it
developed, was the RATIFICATION of Article Six of the Congress of Vienna,
which was in short, a promise to prevent or destroy Popular Governments
wherever found, and to re-establish monarchy where it had been set aside.

The high
contracting parties of this compact which were Russia, Prussia,
Austria and the Pope Pius VIIth, king of the Papal States, entered into a
secret treaty to do so. That the reader may get some idea of the villainy
of these two Congresses and their relation to our government, and to the
death of Abraham Lincoln. I quote excerpts from that document below, as it
appears on the Congressional Record of April 25, 1916, placed there by
Senator Robert L. Owen and as it is recorded in the Diplomatic Code, by
Elliott, page 179:

SECRET TREATY OF
VERONA

"The undersigned
specially authorized to make some additions to the treaty of the Holy
Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed
as follows:

ARTICLE 1. The high
contracting powers being convinced that the system of representative
government is equally as incompatible with the monarchial principles as
the maxim of the sovereignty of the people with the divine right, engage
mutually, in the most solemn manner to use all their efforts to put an end
to the system of representative governments, in whatever country it may
exist in Europe, and to prevent its being introduced in those countries
where it is not yet known.

ARTICLE 2. As it
cannot be doubted that the liberty of the press is the most powerful means
used by the pretended supporters of the rights of nations to the detriment
of those of princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to
adopt all proper measures TO SUPPRESS IT. NOT ONLY IN THEIR OWN STATE BUT
ALSO IN THE REST OF EUROPE.

ARTICLE 3. Convinced
that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations
in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the
high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in
their respective states, those measures which the clergy may adopt with
the aim of ameliorating their own interests, so intimately connected with
the preservation of the authority of the princes: and the contracting
powers join in offering THEIR THANKS TO THE POPE FOR WHAT HE HAS ALREADY
DONE FOR THEM, AND SOLICIT HIS CONSTANT CO-OPERATION IN THEIR VIEWS OF
SUBMITTING THE NATIONS.

ARTICLE 4. The
situation of Spain and Portugal unite unhappily all the circumstances to
which this treaty has particular reference. The high contracting parties,
in confiding to France the care of putting an end to them, engaged to
assist her in the manner which may at least compromit them with their own
people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part of the
two empires of 20,000,000 of francs every year from the date of signature
of this treaty to the end of the war.

ARTICLE 5. In order
to establish in the peninsula the order of things which existed before the
revolution of Cadiz, and to insure the entire execution of the articles of
the present treaty, the high contracting parties give to each other the
reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulfilled,
rejecting all other ideas of futility or other measure to be taken, they
will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the
authorities existing in their states and to all their agents in foreign
countries, with the view to establish connections tending toward the
accomplishment of the objects proposed by this treaty.

ARTICLE 6. This
treaty shall be renewed with such changes as new circumstances may give
occasion for, either at a new congress, or at the court of one of the
contracting parties, as soon as the war with Spain shall be terminated.

ARTICLE 7. The
present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris
within the space of six months.

Made at Verona the
22nd of November 1822.

For Austria:
Metternich.
For France: Chateaubriand.
For Russia: Bernstet.
For Russia: Nesselrode."

When Senator Owen was
questioned by members of Congress upon the meaning of the Treaty, the
Record shows his reply in part as follows:

"This Holy Alliance,
having put a Bourbon prince upon the throne of France by force, then used
France to suppress the condition of Spain, immediately afterwards, and by
this very treaty gave her a Subsidy of 20,000,000 francs annually to
enable her to wage war upon the people of Spain and prevent their exercise
of any measure of the right of self-govermnent. The Holy Alliance
immediately did the same thing in Italy, by sending Austrian troops to
Italy, where the people there attempted to exercise a like measure of
liberal constitutional self-government; and it was not until the printing
press, which the Holy Alliance so stoutly opposed, taught the people of
Europe the value of liberty that finally one country after another seized
a greater and greater right of self-government, until now it may be fairly
said that nearly all the nations of Europe have a very large measure of
self-government.

"However, I wished to
call the attention of the Senate to this important history in the growth
of constitutional popular self-government. The Holy Alliance made its
powers felt by the wholesale drastic suppression of the press in Europe,
by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas of popular
rights, and by the complete suppression of popular government in Spain,
and in Italy, had well-laid plans also to destroy popular government in
the American Colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in
Central and South America under the influence of the successful example of
the United States.

"It was because of
this conspiracy against the American Republics by the European monarchies
that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our
government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson, who
was still living at that time, took an active part to bring about the
declaration by President Monroe in his next annual message to the Congress
of the United States that the United States would regard it as an act of
hostility to the government of the United States and an unfriendly act, if
this coalition, or if any power of Europe ever undertook to establish upon
the American continent any control of any American republic, or to acquire
any territorial rights.

"This is the
so-called Monroe Doctrine. The threat under the secret treaty of Verona to
suppress popular government in the American republics is the basis of the
Monroe Doctrine. This secret treaty sets forth clearly the conflict
between monarchial government and popular government, and the government
of the few as against the government of the many."

The above comments of
our United States Senator before Congress in 1916, clearly defines the
object and the intent of these Divine Righters in Europe.

It will be well for
the reader to understand that the church of Rome with its sixteen
centuries of intrigue, plans fifty or a hundred years ahead. The ultimate
goal of the GREAT SCHEME is to throw the lever of time back by restoring
the Pope as the universal arbiter from whom all the rulers of the
earth must receive their authority to rule. as during the Dark Ages.

The BIG IDEA of
democracy, taught by Jesus Christ when he proclaimed the spiritual
equality of all men, has always been hated and feared by the Jesuit
System, and made the target of their venom, despite all their
protestations of Christianity.

The IDEA of spiritual
equality logically and inevitably leads to social equality, which has been
made practical by Popular Governments.

The central
Idea of Popular Government is consent of the
governed.

The first real social
freedom resulted from the Protestant Reformation, led by the little German
monk, Martin Luther, in 1517. This was an unpardonable sin—this was the
deathblow to the Papacy.

Protestant Germany,
Protestant England, and of course, Protestant United States, have been
from the beginning marked by them for destruction. Ex-Catholic Italy and
ex-Catholic France are next in this rule or ruin policy. In
Protestant Denmark, Sweden and Holland, the same process of working
from within, is being pursued as it is in this country and Canada.

The seeds of hate
between Germany and England were planted in those two glorious Protestant
countries by the Jesuits so that they might develop in time to block the
celebration of the Protestant Reformation on its four hundredth
Anniversary—an event which was planned to surpass anything of the kind the
world has ever seen, a celebration which would have set Protestantism
fifty years ahead.

The Jesuits,
anticipating this, staged the World War, which completely sidetracked it.

For over sixty years
the Great Scheme the Vatican and its Jesuits have been working on is, in a
nutshell, to form an ECCLESIASTICAL EMPIRE, uniting French Canada with our
Atlantic States, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. This is to be done by annexation, manipulated
through corrupt politicians at Washington, D.C., in much the same method
as the annexation of Texas was accomplished, over sixty years ago.

The next big card
being played by Rome is the unification of the French Canadian and
Irish-Catholic vote in the New England States where the influx of Catholic
Canadians is of such proportion as to cause serious consideration of loyal
Americans right now.

The Church is meeting
with some difficulty, owing to the deep-seated dislike between the French
and Irish Catholics. This, however, is being rapidly overcome by two
methods: intermarriage and through the work of the Knights of Columbus
which is by far the most dangerous lay organization in this country.

The Tragedy of
Quebec, a book written by a Protestant Canadian, exposes the PLAN in
detail, and the facts and figures given by this writer who has been a
close student of the subject for many years are startling. It would be
illuminating to the reader who is not familiar with this book to read it.
The full plan of extending the Pope's empire on the Atlantic coast will be
done by Latinizing our Southern States, a process which was begun very
early in our history, prior to the Civil War.

The big efforts of
the Catholic Church to papalize the Negro in the South should not be
overlooked where great strides have been taken in that direction.

The next stop in the
Vatican's Great Scheme is to make war between this country and Japan after
the latter country has been placed under full dominance of the Jesuits.
The priests, monks and nuns of the Roman Church have been pouring into
Japan from all over the world now for many years with that purpose in
view. The writer was told by a Christian Japanese minister in charge of a
Protestant mission in Los Angeles in reply to the question as to why the
Jesuits, who had been barred for years from Japan, had now been permitted
to enter. He answered that the Roman Church had gotten into his country
under the guise of Mohammedanism, and that after it was well entrenched
threw off its disguise, and his country learned to its astonishment that
it was to the Roman Church and its monastic orders it had opened its
doors.

That the
Roman-Catholic-controlled trade unions in California are at the bottom of
most of the agitation against the Japanese in that State is a fact; that
the Roman Catholic politician, James Phelan, was sent to the United States
Senate in 1913 by the solid Roman vote, and has been the prime mover in
the anti-Jap agitation, is also a fact.

There are many
Californians, of course, outside the Roman church, who fear the Japanese
menace on account of their prolific propagation, and their
non-assimilative proclivities, but it is only since I have realized the
activity of the Jesuits to papalize Japan, that the real horror of the
yellow peril, has impressed itself upon me. Add Romanism to Japan, and
it certainly becomes terrifying in its aspect.

I am not presenting
these things as a calamity howler, but I believe with careful
consideration and immediate intelligent activity, the danger can be
averted. We must be alert and doing.

And now we will take
up the Roman question, which is the big, overshadowing world question
today, and it will continue to be until the Papacy is finally uprooted. We
will have to take cognizance of it in Europe frequently through these
pages in order to get a clear view of the impending danger to ourselves. I
ask the reader to be patient and follow me closely in my hurdling of the
Atlantic, back and forth, at various times which I have been obliged to
do. It is a big and perplexing question to try to simplify sufficiently
for the busy non-Romanist who is so absorbed in his own affairs and who so
little understands that pernicious system.

The great mistake,
which the American non-Catholic people make, is that they judge the Papacy
by the Roman Church as they find it in this country. One cannot gauge it
from this standpoint, for we must remember that it is operating where more
than five-sixths of the people are non-Romanists—in a Protestant country.
In order to get an accurate estimate one must survey it in its native
state, so to speak—in Catholic countries where it has held sway for
centuries. On this side of the Atlantic, for instance, we will have to
contemplate it, as it is in Mexico, or Central and South America, in order
to get a true estimate.

I shall quote through
these pages copiously from several books, some of which are out of print,
in order that their messages may not be entirely lost.
